The goal of this channel is to educate people on topics like Costa Rica Expat Living, Costa Rica Travel, Colombia Travel, Colombia Expat Living and to share my tips on how to lead a freedom/laptop lifestyle.
16 years ago I was fed up living in the repetitive cycle of the “rat race” so I left my home country and moved to Costa Rica. Instead of dreading my 9 - 5 job, I get to work online, determine my own schedule, work on my own goals & dreams instead of my boss's, AND I get to do this from wherever I want! From Costa Rica, I travel the world. Since 2019 we have been living on and of in Colombia Bogota as well. I can work from anywhere I want...All I have to do is bring my laptop to be able to keep up with my lifestyle.

Very helpful video. Thanks, Rick
Oh boy! A WALMANT!
Why does everything look sooo Civilized there? Those restaurants are looking so romantic. I can even feel their ambiance . Now let me see if I have ever met anyone from Costa Rica? Perhaps, they can clue me in on what "PURA VIDA" really means.... because I'm seriously tired of living inside these Uncivilized United RATRACE States. Yup, I don't even visit their restaurants anymore. I mean, why bother myself? Because their atmosphere is so deplorable., but of course, we must always leave our hefty tips.
Maybe I’ll vacation somewhere else 😂
I heard that MEN are getting anti-aging procedures also...in CR. But, why not...because Medical Tourism is the way to go.
I can hardly wait...to get my anti-aging package/procedures done in CR. Because you are looking GREEAT...and everything is so cheap & affordable there...not to mention the awesome JUNGLE backdrop. Thanks for a great video. 🎉
I got confused between 1:20 and 1:40. You said you automatically get "30 days" and then right after that you were referring to "90 days to explore". Do I automatically get 30 days, or 90 days to explore? Thanks!
Hi Wanda, thoroughly enjoyed your honest and down-to-earth videos about Costa Rica. My son and her family of wife and 3 children (15,12,10) (Boy, Boy, girl) will be arriving in LIR on Dec 18. My husband and I are also arriving on the same day. They will rent a 7-pass SUV and we will rent a 4,5-pass SUV. Until Dec 27. We will definitely call your rental guy. Would you do a La Fortuna tour my son and family, just them? on Dec 19 to Arenal Volcano, etc. and where else would you recommend for Dec 20. if we could text privately, that'll be great. Thanks. Pura Vida.
I'm going to cartagena as a solo male traveler in mid november and wanted to know if it's safe and if Uber is safe to use or are there a lot of drug cartels and I plan to just stay in the city
Beautiful location!!!! What month was this on?
Great! I’m headed to Cartagena in December from the US and certainly can’t wait

Hi wanda iam from Algeria I live in Singapore I looking for job and want immigrate to costa rica can help me pls how i can go there i love costa rica
Any country has its downfalls..i could write or speak about a list for England. 😅😅😅
All of your comments are right on. We live in Atenas (12 years) and love it. Like every Tico home we have a main house, a casita, a rancho and a bodega. The only scary thing I have seen was a Fer de Lance just outside my door. They come down when it is rainy and chilly. The most fun thing is that twice I spotted a perezosa (sloth) on. The road and picked it up and carried off the road to safety (I had gloves on so not to transmit anything bad to the sloth). They are literally all bones and weigh like a feather. I sleep every night with the door open to. The outside in our bedroom. It is SOOO lovely to wake up - 67-68 degrees, birds chirping to wake me up. Always the same yellow belly bird (golden belly fly-catcher) just outside my door. Se dicen que Atenas tiene el mejor clima del mundo - y eso es correcto! Thanks for the nice video
can you provide the link to book Macaw Sanctuary? Is there an alternative place for Trimbina lodge? Looks like its fully booked for our December trip
It's funny how the TH-cam algorithm works because I'm Costarrican but just returned from the Netherlands after living there for two years. 😅
Your location for car rental?
The name of your company?
What is the approximate charge per day?
Is there extra cost for miles traveled?
Wanda, help a fellow European out. From what I understand most of the CR food is imported from the US, where (in the US) they really have a lot of issues with their food regulations. Whereas Europeans have the highest food standards in the world. I'm talking chemicals we can spray on it. I'm European, how do I eat in CR without eating American food? I don't wanna be rude, but is that even possible? I know ticos spray all kinds of stuff on it as well. So how would you go about doing that?
Not sure but you can shop at the local markets (ferias) and cook yourself so you know what you are eating.
Ure shirt is large get a medium darling 😊
Does this insurance still work?
So obviously, if I'm going to place that doesn't have WI. Fi. This isn't going to work., correct?

Hi Wanda, love the video. Im thinking of moving to Cost Rica for a couple months. Any recommendations on some jobs i can work temporarily?
It has gotten worse
sadly yes :-(
Wanda, would you suggest staying in Manuel Antonio for two weeks for a vacation or finding two different locations with in Costa Rica to explore over that time frame?
Oh my gosh you want to see so much more then just two locations. Yu don't want to miss out. Atleast Stay in the Arenal Volcano area then from there the Monteverde Cloudorest and then Manuel Antonio. Have fun
What’s your opinion on Cachi ? I will be looking there once I check out a lot for sale in Tambor beach. Thanks
Great information clear and concise.
Hi wanda Ik ben van plan om zeer binnenkort naar Costa Rico te komen om te zien of het iets voor mij is om te gaan wonen, ik ben Nederland helemaal beu. Kan ik je benaderen om mij wegwijs te maken als ik ik kom? Alvast veel dank.
So scary I won't go there.

I will be traveling this summer to Costa Rica with Common Ground International, for immersive medical Spanish.
Following! This is very helpful, thank you. I am British but currently living in Spain for past 4 years and planning to move to Costa Rica on August! I’m getting mixed opinions - some people say to stay in Spain, some go to Costa Rica…logic says stay in Spain, my heart says..go to Costa Rica! 💚
